Chapter 149 Looking for the Eagle
“I think, since this eagle is so smart, it would be great if it could help me find prey in the sky. When it finds the trace of the prey, it will come back and report to me, and then I will take the dog with me. Chase him in groups! This is much more efficient than chasing a cold slut!
What do you think if I want to achieve this level with the eagle?" We chatted in a hurry. Here, Yue Feng humbly asked Chen Pao for advice.
As for basic falcon training, Chen Pao has never been exposed to it, so it is definitely difficult to say anything. However, Yue Feng's current advanced training plan has gone beyond the ordinary falcon training stage.
Chen Pao has played with dogs all his life. If the IQ of this Haidongqing is similar to that of a dog, then some of the experience in dog training can also be used for training eagles.
After listening to Yue Feng's thoughts, the old man frowned slightly and pondered for a while. Instead of rushing to give his opinion, he raised his head and asked: "How did you train this Hai Dongqing to follow Pan Fei like he is now, and then Did you see the prey swooping down to attack?"
Yue Feng did not hide it, and said openly: "I use the bait swing method, which is to use an artificially sewn fake bait to let the hawk follow. Bait, food, establish the corresponding conditioned reflex connection, and then..."
Yue Feng went into detail and told Uncle Chen all the relevant details on how to train the big black eagle during the previous period.
After hearing this, Chen Pao nodded: "This method is very clever. It can establish a corresponding connection between the eagle and the human through the fake bait!
I think , if you want the eagle to help you find prey, it is best to try it based on this training method! ”
"What about?" When Yue Feng heard this, he frowned in thought. He had a little inspiration, but it was floating in his head and he couldn't catch the idea.
“If I use the thinking of dog training, I want the dog to help me go out to find prey, there are several steps!
The first step is to let the dog know Prey, knowing that this is what I want, usually the easiest step is to feed the dog with the prey to let it remember the smell of the target prey!
Second point, I want to train the dog to find prey! In the process, it is best to prepare a prey in advance.
For example, if you train a dog to search for pigs in the mountains, the first step is to feed the dog the meat of the wild boar, and the second step is to prepare it in advance. Use a snare to catch a smaller wild boar on the mountain, and set a sure prey in advance for the dog when he goes up the mountain to look for it.
In the third step, I will deliberately leave the scent of wild boar along the way, take the dog with me, chase these cold-blooded women, and finally find the wild boar target I prepared in advance!
The fourth step is to train the dog to fight pigs, such as where to start, how to divide the work among the dogs, what is the best plan, the dog can learn in actual combat, I just need At critical moments, give positive or negative feedback. After a smart dog has had one or two experiences, he can learn this process! ”
When Chen Pao treated Yue Feng, he really didn’t hide anything. When talking about this, he directly explained his method of dragging and training dogs very clearly.< br>
After listening to Chen Pao's sharing attentively, Yue Feng frowned slightly and said, "It's easy to let the eagle know its prey. I can also catch a live prey to give the eagle a chance to participate in the battle.
But how to let someone report the news after it finds its prey? Dogs have the nature of wolves and treat their owners as the boss of the pack. Hunting is a team behavior.
The eagle is different. It likes to be alone and is absolutely opportunistic! "
Chen Pao nodded: "There is indeed a difference in this point, we can't just copy it mechanically!
If you can’t get it right in one step, then continue to split the final training requirements into more detailed parts!
For example, the matter of an eagle finding prey and reporting it to a person can be broken down into the following: the eagle first finds the prey, and then after successfully hunting it, it takes the prey to find someone to receive the reward.
After this conditioned reflex is developed, change the prey target to a larger individual. The eagle cannot carry such a large individual, but it still wants to find someone to receive the reward. Will it be possible to guide it to find someone? Has anyone reported the news?
Or change your mind and use your fake bait. If you don’t fasten the meat, and the eagle comes down after seeing the fake bait showing off, and you take the opportunity to exchange the meat for the fake bait under its talons, will it understand your exchange?
If you understand, you can go to the mountains and become an eagle normally. After finding prey, let the eagle exchange the prey for food from your hand!
When the prey is discovered and captured, the idea of exchanging rewards will come up. Later, the species and size of the prey will be increased. The eagle will find that it cannot hunt successfully due to its own strength. No matter how people guide it appropriately, will it be enough? Let it find someone to report the news!
Reporting a message is actually equivalent to receiving a reward. How to grasp the specific scale requires a little training and testing!
Of course, my idea is just a matter of course. You have to check the specific situation yourself. It is for reference only! ”
Not to mention, after listening to Chen Pao's divergent thinking analysis, Yue Feng had some ideas.
The project of flying with the big black eagle in my hand has been completely consolidated. As long as Yue Feng needs it, the big black eagle can fly in circles for two hours without any difficulty.
If the logic test of exchanging fake bait for food can be passed, it is really possible that the big black eagle can understand the behavior of exchanging prey for food rewards from its owner.
By the way, in addition to the previous logical analysis of falcon training, dogs can also be used as trainers!
The black wolf is so smart. If you could demonstrate it to the big black eagle, would it be easier for the eagle to understand some of the behaviors inside?
Dogs and eagles cannot communicate verbally, but simple body movements are understandable. There is a way to do this.
"After your analysis, I seem to have thought of some possibilities! When I go home later, I will think of a way to try it!"
"Haha, when people deal with animals, the back and forth is actually So, even if there is a misunderstanding in the process, as long as the result is what you want, just strengthen the result so that the animals will remember it.
I remember I raised one a few years ago! It's a flowery dog. It's not very good at walking, and it's small. It's one and a half years old. It went hunting with a group of dogs. It encountered wild boars several times before, but it didn't even dare to bite.
Later. Once again, the dog gang trapped a sow weighing more than 200 kilograms. I used a knife to bleed the pig, but the pig suddenly staggered and almost fell down in my hand! The stabbing knife missed the mark and hit the wild boar’s back door!
The wild boar's back door was bleeding. When the spotted dog saw that I was injured, it screamed and bit the wild boar's back door.
I saw the flower dog opening its mouth towards the back door of the wild boar. Apart from the head dog, the second reward was the flower dog. Just like that, the wild boar was beaten down. From then on, this The striped dog has become a dog that specializes in biting the back door!
You also know that dogs who like to dig out the back door are rare. When I went up the mountain to drag the puppy, I deliberately stabbed the wild boar’s back door with a knife. But the trick that the flower dog used before could not be used elsewhere. It’s not easy to use on my dog, no matter how I teach it! ”
“Uh! All right! It’s true that a dog digging out the back door can’t be learned simply by teaching it! Now I have four big dogs at home. The big black dog that Uncle Zhao gave me is also a back door digger!
On the way up the mountain a few days ago, the dogs encountered an armored cannon egg. Dahei and Xiaohua tried to hang pliers on their mouths, but they were thrown away by the big wild boar and were stunned. In the end, it was Dahei. The dog bit the egg ball of the cannon egg to settle the nest!
I heard from Uncle Zhao that this black dog was also the offspring of Brother Zou Qi’s female dog! The dog was quite smart. When he went up the mountain to fight a bear, he had an accident. He knew that he would take the person's severed hand and return home to report the news! Later, I avenged Zhao Yuanjie, and his big black dog was sold to me! ! "
After listening to Yue Feng's words, Chen Pao was thoughtful and said slowly: "The bones of the cubs born from Zou Laoqi's bitch will definitely not be small!
The green wolf is gone, and you have this big black dog that can bite balls. If the dog helps go up the mountain and encounters ordinary wild boars, it will basically not suffer! "
" Hehe, this big black dog is quite smart. He defeated all three dogs that were brought back from you! I named him Black Wolf!
Now these four dogs are not running rampant in the mountains and forests. Wait until next fall when the four wolf-blood cubs in the family grow up. It will definitely be a different story! ”
"Okay! If I have time later, I will go to your house to play with you, see the big black hawk you mentioned, and see how the wolf cubs at home are doing in your hands!"
"You are welcome at any time! There is nothing else involved. If not, you can stay at my house for a few days! We go up the mountain, and you can go for a walk together. My big brother from the Red Army is afraid that something will happen to you when you go up the mountain by yourself. If you are with a few of us, He definitely doesn't have any taboos!" Chen Pao shook his head decisively and said in a free and easy tone: "I won't go. If you promise not to go up the mountain, then you won't go.
< br>
It’s getting dark soon. When are we going to look for the slow peach-tip eagle?”
Yue Feng glanced out the window, the sun was setting in the west, and finally. There was a hint of afterglow, and it was estimated that in half an hour, the sky would be completely dark.
"Let's set off now! This big eagle is blind at night, and there is no moon today. As soon as the sky clears, the black eagle will definitely find a place to spend the night! Let's go from home now and wait until we reach the Muling River!"
"Let's go then! Old lady, you prepare dinner at home and leave Xiaofeng to stay at home overnight today!" Chen Pao directly planned the second half of the trip in advance without consulting Yue Feng at all.
Yue Feng also had this mental preparation before coming. After all, he brought the self-catching net with him when he came. If he can’t catch the eagle with the bamboo pole, he still has to use the self-catching net to catch the eagle. It will be difficult to catch the eagle tonight. Go home.
Soon, Yue Feng, Chen Pao, and Chen Hongjun went out carrying a four- to five-meter-long bamboo pole, a shoulder bag, and a flashlight with new batteries each.
As expected, the people here walked out of the village and rushed to the Muling River, and the sky turned dark.
It gets dark very early in the Northeast. On a moonless night, it can be described as being completely invisible.
Yue Feng and his party of three all know the terrain of the area by the river quite well. In addition, it is winter, and the river has long been frozen, so there is no danger.
"Xiao Feng, where should we look first? You are the captain, you have the final say!" Chen Hongjun asked, carrying the bamboo pole.
Yue Feng did not hesitate and raised his hand to point to the forest closest to the production road: "Come next to each other! Start looking for the nearest one first! This big eagle spends the night and usually does not fall on higher ground. It’s cold in the high branches! Just shine the flashlight on Bai Bai’s belly!”
“Let’s go!”
After a brief conversation, the three of them split up, each choosing a direction, and started searching along the border area of the grove.
The search lasted for more than an hour. The flashlight illuminated several birds that had spent the night on the trees in the grove, but there was no trace of the slow peach-tip eagle.
Chen Pao was quite happy when he went out. The more he searched for his heart, the deeper he became. When he got to the back, he just stood next to a tree and held a lamp to shine, and stopped talking.
After searching for a long time, I found a lot of other miscellaneous birds such as turtle doves and sand pheasants, but there was still no trace of the big eagle.
The three people searched three woods along the river, but still found nothing.
"Did it fly far away? Otherwise, let's go back! If it's lost, it's lost. It's not destined to happen!"
Chen Pao was silent for a long time, as if he had accepted the reality of losing the eagle, and his tone was a little low. said.
Yue Feng was just about to answer when he suddenly vaguely heard the sound of two bells ringing in the distance.
“Stop talking!” Yue Feng shouted lowly, immediately put his hand on his ear and listened intently while holding his breath.
The sound of the bell can no longer be heard.
Is it an illusion? No, it must be the sound of eagle bells!
Yue Feng is so familiar with the sound of this big copper eagle bell that it is absolutely impossible to mishear it.
At this time, the bell rang again.
"Over here! Follow me back to the penultimate forest we just came over!!" Yue Feng heard this clearly this time and immediately walked back with a flashlight.
On the way back, he heard the sound of bells again. Soon, Yue Feng followed the sound and came to the foot of an aspen tree that was almost as thick as a person's arms.
Here, Chen Pao and Chen Hongjun searched around with flashlights, but found no trace of the eagle.
Yue Feng took a flashlight and searched the branches one by one on the south side of the main trunk of the aspen tree. About five or six meters above the ground, he found a slow man squatting on the crossbar next to the main trunk. Big eagle with peach tip.
At this moment, the slow peach-tip eagle is stepping on a branch with one leg, its feathers are fluffed into a ball, and its head is stuck in the gap between the wings. When the flashlight light shines, a yellow-white belly is revealed. .
"Found it! The eagle is here!" Yue Feng greeted in a low voice, and soon Chen Pao and Chen Hongjun came over.
Chen Hongjun followed the light of Yue Feng's flashlight and said after seeing clearly where the eagle had landed: "Fuck! This guy is hiding quite well! When I found this tree in front of me, I even deliberately I searched around in circles, but I didn’t expect it to be located so high. It must be five or six meters, right?”
"What should we do next? Use a rope harness? This distance is probably beyond the reach of the bamboo pole! If it doesn't work, let your military brother go home and tie his feet up and climb up!"
Chen Pao also looked up and down, thinking Somewhat bottomless.
